Does ibuprofen mess with your liver?
I usually take ibuprofen for my period cramps, but my cousin recently warned me that painkillers can be bad for the liver. Does ibuprofen mess with your liver if you take it somewhat regularly for pain?

Taking chemical pills too often is bound to affect our organs like the liver. I prefer using fresh warm giloy juice for general immunity, but if you have severe pain, please consult a real doctor.

Do not listen to random internet forums claiming ibuprofen is completely safe or completely toxic. Get your liver function tests done and show them to a doctor to know what's safe for your body.

Honestly, my liver has enough work processing all the chole bhature I eat! I try to keep ibuprofen use to an absolute minimum so I don't overload my system unnecessarily.

I used to pop ibuprofen after every heavy gym session until my doc warned me about kidney and liver strain. Now I just stick to proper rest and ice packs instead of pills.

Ibuprofen is primarily metabolized by your kidneys, while paracetamol goes through the liver. That said, abuse of any NSAID will eventually cause systemic damage, so don't self-medicate blindly.

Ji, doctor babu tells us that taking these heavy English medicines daily is not good for liver and pet. If you have pain, take medicine only after asking a doctor, and eat light food.
